Floquil Railroad colors Old Silver and Bright SilverLooks great Glenn. What paints are you using?
I wasn't aware that the wings were skinned with plywood although I was aware that the entire airframe was made as aerodynamically smooth as possible by using putty on the joints and painting it silver. Painting the whole thing one color of silver as the original would have made it look like a toy in this scale, so I chose to very the shading of the panels to give it some variation. I believe the panel lines are pretty close to correct though as they match several profiles I have seen of the aircraft.Hi Glenn, beautiful model of a beautiful aircraft. I built this once as a youngster; didn't look any where near as good as yours. Just one thing. The He 70's wings were wooden; highly polished plywood, so their finish would have been smooth and of a uniform color. I doubt Matchbox were entirely accurate when producing the panel lines in the original kit.
